Keyless Entry Transmitter: Testing and Inspection

1. Replace the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter batteries. See Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Battery Replacement in the Service Procedures. Test each of the transmitter functions. If OK, discard the faulty batteries. If not OK, go to Step 2.
2. Program the suspect RKE transmitter and another known good transmitter into the power lock and RKE module or the Central Timer Module (CTM). See Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming in the Service Procedures.
3. Test the RKE system operation with both transmitters. If both transmitters fail to operate the power lock system, see Power Lock and Remote Keyless Entry Module or see Central Timer Module in the Diagnosis and Testing. If the known good transmitter operates the power locks and the suspect transmitter does not, replace the faulty transmitter.

NOTE: Be certain to perform the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming procedure again following this test. See Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming in the Service Procedures. This procedure will erase the access code of the test transmitter from the RKE receiver.
